    Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 Eileen Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 ©2012 Eileen Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT Italy and the Sanusiyya: Negotiating Authority in Colonial Libya, 1911-1931 By Eileen Ryan In the first decade of their occupation of the former Ottoman territories of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica in current-day Libya, the Italian colonial administration established a system of indirect rule in the Cyrenaican town of Ajedabiya under the leadership of Idris al-Sanusi, a leading member of the Sufi order of the Sanusiyya and later the first monarch of the independent Kingdom of Libya after the Second World War. Post-colonial historiography of modern Libya depicted the Sanusiyya as nationalist leaders of an anti-colonial rebellion as a source of legitimacy for the Sanusi monarchy. Since Qaddafi’s revolutionary coup in 1969, the Sanusiyya all but disappeared from Libyan historiography as a generation of scholars, eager to fill in the gaps left by the previous myopic focus on Sanusi elites, looked for alternative narratives of resistance to the Italian occupation and alternative origins for the Libyan nation in its colonial and pre-colonial past. Their work contributed to a wider variety of perspectives in our understanding of Libya’s modern history, but the persistent focus on histories of resistance to the Italian occupation has missed an opportunity to explore the ways in which the Italian colonial framework shaped the development of a religious and political authority in Cyrenaica with lasting implications for the Libyan nation.

Tuesday, April 9, 2013 PARTICIPANTS: Introduction: MARTIN INDYK Vice President and Director Foreign Policy The Brookings Institution Moderator: FIONA HILL Senior Fellow and Director Center on the United States and Europe The Brookings Institution Featured Speaker: ALEX SALMOND First Minister of Scotland * * * * * ANDERSON COURT REPORTING 706 Duke Street, Suite 100 Alexandria, VA 22314 Phone (703) 519-7180 Fax (703) 519-7190 2 SCOTLAND-2013/04/09 P R O C E E D I N G S MR. INDYK: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Brookings. I'm Martin Indyk, the Director of the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings, and we're delighted to have you here for a special event hosted by Center on the U.S. and Europe at Brookings. In an historic referendum set for autumn of next year, the people of Scotland will vote to determine if Scotland should become an independent country. And that decision will carry with it potentially far-reaching economic, legal, political, and security consequences for the United Kingdom. Needless to say, the debate about Scottish independence will be watched closely in Washington as well. And so we are delighted to have the opportunity to host the Right Honorable Alex Salmond, the first Minister of Scotland, to speak about the Scottish independence. He has been First Minister since 2007. Before that, he has had a distinguished parliamentary career. He was elected member of the UK parliament in 1987, served there until 2010.

    Rt. Hon. Michael Gove MP Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Cabinet Office 70 Whitehall London SW1A 2AS Mike Russell MSP, Cabinet Secretary for the Constitution, Europe and External Affairs Jeremy Miles MS, Counsel General and Minister for European Transition Jenny Gilruth MSP, Minister for Europe and International Development 14 June 2020 Dear Mike, Jeremy and Jenny, I have appreciated the close contact between our administrations as we prepare for the opportunities presented by life outside the EU's Single Market and Customs Union. While we have different views on the way forward, I am always grateful for your thoughtful and considered contributions. That is why I was disappointed to read your statement on Friday, including the decision by Scottish and Welsh Government ministers not to join a briefing call with the Paymaster General following Friday’s UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement Joint Committee and ahead of Monday’s High Level Meeting with the Presidents of EU institutions. I was glad that the call could go ahead with the First Minister of Northern Ireland nonetheless, and that officials from the Northern Ireland Executive, Scottish and Welsh Governments were in attendance. In your statement you claimed that “we cannot accept a way of working in which the views of the devolved governments are simply dismissed before we have had a chance to discuss them”. This is inaccurate. The UK Government respects and understands the fact that the SNP and the Labour Party in Wales supported extending the transition period with the EU, and has repeatedly discussed this in both public and private meetings with ministers from the Scottish and Welsh Governments.

    Newport Adult Services: Market Position Statement SOCIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT NEWPORT ADULT SERVICES MARKET POSITION STATEMENT 2014 – 2019 1 Newport Adult Services: Market Position Statement 1. INTRODUCTION This document is aimed at existing and potential providers of adult social care. It represents rt of a dialogue between the Council, people who use services, carers, providers and others, about the vision for the future of local social care markets. We are committed to stimulating a diverse, active market where innovation and energy is encouraged and rewarded and where poor practice is actively discouraged. This is an important role for the Council, and a key part of shaping what kind of place Newport is, namely a place where people with care and support needs, their families and carers, are included and involved in community, economic and social life. This Market Position Statement (MPS) is designed to be a document containing intelligence, information and analysis of benefit to existing and potential providers of adult social care and support in Newport. It aims to describe current and potential future demand and supply; the funding that we will have available as commissioners; potential demand from people funding their own services; and begins to describe how we would like to work with the social care market going forward. Providers of adult social care can learn about the council’s intentions as a purchaser of services, and our vision for how services might respond to the personalisation / citizen direction of adult social care and support. Voluntary and community organisations can learn about future opportunities and what would enable you to build on your knowledge of local needs in order to develop new activities and services.
